Smartphones are set to transform driving

Hyundai has been at the forefront of the effort to link the power and possibilities of smartphones to the needs of drivers—from introducing the first car with Android Auto™ to offering this advanced technology on eleven of our current models.

Let your smartphone be your guide.

Once in your car, start by plugging in your Android Auto compatible phone. Now simply touch the Android Auto icon on the display screen and get ready for a more rewarding driving experience with fewer distractions.

Here’s where your apps really get mobile.

Imagine a car that’s as easy to use as your phone. Just connect your Android™ phone and you’re ready to go.

Android Auto is designed especially for your driving needs and features Talk to Google. It also works with your vehicle’s buttons or touchscreen. And the apps you want to use in the car have been made intuitive so you can use them while your eyes and hands stay where they belong.

See what’s around the next corner. In addition to giving you turn-by-turn directions, traffic conditions and estimated travel time, Android Auto can also predict where you most likely want to go based on recent destinations, calendar appointments and more. Android Auto will even suggest directions to locations it learns you go to every day, such as your office. For instance, when you start your car in the morning it will ask if you want to "return to work" and then offer directions and route options based on traffic.

Apps on the road.

Whether you're going around the block or on an epic road trip, Android Auto makes it easy to access your select apps and content in the car.
